I am a Departmental Lecturer in Syntax and Semantics in the Faculty of Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics at the University of Oxford. 

I am primarily interested in how language varies between and within individuals, focusing on how syntactic models account for this variation, and to what extent we make social judgments of others based on the linguistic variants they use. 

I also have a broader interest in communicating the findings and values of the field of Linguistics to the general public, including dispelling the notions that there is ‘good’ or ‘bad’ language, and instead celebrating all the varied ways we communicate with each other.
